The answer

Sponsoring an orphan is one of the good deeds encouraged by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "I and the guardian of the orphan will be in Paradise like this," and he gestured with his index and middle fingers. There is no objection to a husband and wife sharing in the sponsorship of an orphan, with each paying half of the requirements. This is considered cooperation in righteousness and piety.
